Easy potato cheese omelette recipe

Potato, Spinach & Mozzarella Omelette

Servings: 4

Ingredients
  • 2 medium potatoes, grated
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Fresh baby spinach (quantity not specified)
  • Mozzarella cheese, grated (quantity not specified)
  • Peanut oil (or another cooking oil), a small splash
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Tomatoes
  • Chilli
  • Other vegetables or cheeses of your choice
  • Tomato sauce (ketchup)
Method
  1. Prepare the potatoes. * Grate the potatoes into a bowl. * Cover with cold water and rinse well to remove excess starch. * Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Prepare the egg mixture. * Beat the eggs in a bowl. * Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat the pan. * Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. * Add a small splash of peanut oil.
  4. Cook the potatoes. * Spread the drained grated potatoes evenly over the skillet. * Allow them to cook without disturbing them too much. * Season lightly with additional salt and pepper.
  5. Add the eggs. * Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the potatoes, moving in a circular motion so the egg fills all the gaps.
  6. Add the filling. * Scatter the baby spinach over the top. * Sprinkle with grated mozzarella.
  7. Finish cooking. * Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the base is golden brown. * Carefully flip and cook the other side until set. Alternative method: Instead of flipping, place the skillet under a hot grill (broiler) until the top is cooked and lightly browned.
  8. Serve. * Serve immediately with tomato sauce if desired. ---
